Graduating this year from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology with a Diploma in Journalism, Van Wyk began work at Jam Media in July, after completing her one-year internship with online News and Digital agency, 24.com. She has also worked at Media24 titles like Huisgenoot, You and Drum magazine as well as Women’s Health magazine. Van Wyk also worked at the Expresso and Top Billing as a social media assistant.

"I worked closely with Danielle a year ago while contracting to Expresso. I noticed her young talent then already and asked her to join me after her internship was complete. Being a journalist by trade myself, I recognise the value any level media experience has on a career in PR and look forward to having her on board," said Jam Media director Jess Mouneimne.

Van Wyk will be focusing on lifestyle and consumer-based clients of the agency, such as Super Nannies, Cape Fight League and World’s Best Pan.
